Not wordless Wednesday...

Well, our home was part of the tragedy of the emergency state declared on Monday in the Toronto Area. And as I standing up to my calves in water plucking out my valuables I'm thinking "I wonder if the shamwow towel would help". I and yes I have now removed all of the wet wall to wall carpeting, and bleached the floor (it smells like a swimming pool), I'm thinking "where on earth am I going to put all this stuff, while the new flooring is installed". So far all the upholstery/refinishing projects have been moved up to the living room, with a path to the sofa, I'll need to crash at some point, and now what. Good thing I'm a major stock holder of Rubbermaid Totes, ( all 20 of them, full, are on the front porch under a tarp). So while I'm heading out to the curb to deposit my discarded carpeting, I spot the above beauty. O.K. so this is the silver lining in that cloud... I don't remember this hydrangea being blue, but... and she has 2 companions. The roses look like they've had a bad hair day, all blown to bits as do I.

Oh dear, dear Irene. I am so sorry about this. If there's anything I can't stand, it's my home being in upheaval. I will pray for you that everything gets resolved soon and to your complete satisfaction. And I hope you didn't lose anything truly valuable. Thank you for the kind card you sent. It was one of two sympathy cards I received on the passing of my aunt, whose loss I still feel keenly every day. Thank you for your prayers and I will be praying for you.

This was some storm...my whole basement was flooded with 3 to 4 feet of water. We are still clearing from Tuesday afternoon and waiting for the insurance guy....and my basement was huge as I have a big bungalow.

The CAR the reason for the mess!

Daniel with the car intact, just a photographic reminder that it once was in one piece, to keep me from going over the edge when I trip on a car part. I don't care if I'm a 100 years old, I'm his first passenger. P.S. isn't he handsome?
